...Paris last week, against a backdrop of grenadine velvet, the Bank of France staged its first meeting since Premier Blum enfranchised the Bank's 40,000 hitherto voteless stockholders. Sole control previously rested in the potent hands of the 200 largest shareholders-"the 200 Families of France" (TIME, May 18, et seq.). With a turn-out of no less than 1,300 excited Parisian and provincial shareholders, the meeting was as raucous as a stormy session of the Chamber of Deputies.

It whirled through the Moratorium in eight hours (see col. 3). It passed a measure appropriating $203,000,000 for bonus loans, $120,000 for additional employment agencies. It okayed the $100,000,000 capital increase for the Federal Land Banks after voting down (190-to-165) a general farm moratorium amendment...
Victor Steuart Kaleoaloha Houston, Hawaii's (voteless) delegate to Congress, said: "American Samoa cannot be made into a State. It cannot be made into an incorporated Territory, as it is impractical to apply many Federal laws there. A special form of government, such as Do Dominion status, would be necessary...
